DEFINING LUXURY FOR THE BUSINESS TRAVELER
JW Marriott Muscat
Set in the heart of Madinat Al Irfan, the new JW Marriott Muscat is a beacon of natural elegance in the up-and-coming business district. The moment you step into the hotel you are greeted with spiraling metal elements representing the nests of various native birds. As you flock into the light-filled lobby you will notice there are no flowers on display. The hotel has replaced throw-away flowers in favor of plants, a hint
of the brand’s “detail over ornament” ethos. The design itself is a unique architectural blend, interpreting the local context through a contemporary lens.
In December 2019, the JW Marriott Muscat opened its doors to welcome guests to the property and is the latest addition to the OMRAN Group’s hotel portfolio. General Manager Giuseppe Ressa is proud to be at the helm of the luxury brand’s flagship in Oman, which bears the name of its founder: John Willard Marriott Sr. In an interview with Panorama magazine, Giuseppe tells us all we need to know about Muscat’s brand-new luxury destination.
